OOC:

These notifications have been spread in places known to be frequented by artists, in Stormwind but also in the settlements of Steamwheedle Cartel. Slowly they might even appear in the horde settlements, in translation of course. They carry the partially-eclipsed red sun setting over the waves.

Journalism tells you a story of events and places you could not witness yourself. Good journalism makes the story come alive and swallow you whole. Good journalism is riveting and evocative; those who read it cannot help but to form a strong opinion about the topic.

Journalism is an art.

The Red Eclipse announces the Journalism Challenge for all the great artists of Azeroth to take up the quill, the brush and even the snapshot.

Three prizes will be awarded, two for the best text (one for Common another for Orcish) and one for the best image.

All works will be collected and published in a single volume which will be offered for sale to the public, encouraging them to send their reviews. The prize-winners will be awarded part of the raised sum and contributions from major Cartel publishers. Skilled journalists will find offers to work for prestigious papers across Azeroth!

Rules for texts
-Between 500 and 2500 words
-Written in Common or Orcish
-Only journalistic reports accepted, no essays
-Any topic is accepted

Rules for the picture
-Drawn by hand or taken by Snapshot or any magical imaging spell
-Must tell a story
-Should be understood without an accompanying story

Reward for the Text
Texts will be rewarded based on reader-reviews and professional jury. The jury will judge the texts based on:
-Relevance of the story, nobody cares about the daily life of Elwynn Squirrels
-Prose, nobody reads stories which do not evoke images and are hard to get through
-Strength of the story, good journalism must touch the hearts
-Subtlety, it is bad journalism for the author to make his bias overly explicit

Reward for the Picture
Pictures will be rewarded based on reader and professional reviews. The jury will judge the pictures based on:
-Clarity, a good picture tells a story, a bad picture needs a story to explain it
-Impact, a good picture moves the viewer

Please send your work to:

Red Eclipse Group,
Booty Bay


No works will be accepted after 10th of May.

Good Luck!

Red Eclipse is a Steamwheedle Cartel associated company
